HarryB Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thought I'd start a journal just for something to do. BW 114 BF who knows but can see some abs Height 5'7 and a bit. I am currently getting back into hard proper training after some years off competing in bodybuilding. Cleaned my diet so it's relatively high protein, medium to low carbs and whatever fat is in the foods I eat. Last workout was chest Incline flys 7.5k/12reps 15k/12 25k/12 40k/10 50k/8 Incline bb press .5 pl/15 reps 1pl/15 2pl/12 2.5pl/10 3pl/7 Flat bench 1pl/10 2pl/10 3pl/9 Cable crossovers superset with dips 4 sets can't remember weights but last set of dips was so pitiful I did about 6 then finished on the ground doing pushups. Leg raises and crunches for abs... 3 sets of about 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Oh a bit of background. Tore my bicep last easter and in october partially tore the lateral ligaments in my left knee. I am back to near full strength on back and arm training but still trying to squats back up to par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks Nate, I like to do flyes sometimes first because my shoulders and triceps take over the pressing movements. Still on the way back up to some decent weights but more concerned about getting my muscles back. Thanks steak.. I am a lame old broken down tank at the moment but getting there. Off to do shoulders and biceps and maybe some calves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 OK so did shoulders and biceps yesterday and ran out of time so no calves. Seated military press bar/15reps 40k/12reps 60k/12reps 80k/10 100k/10 110k/7 drop to 60k/11 (not loving this exercise today!) Machine laterals, up to the stack for a couple of sets of 8 then a back off set of 12 Bent db laterals 7.5k/12r 15k/12r 22.5k/10r 25k/2sets/8reps Barbell shrugs bar/8reps 60k/8r 100k/8r 140k/8r 180k/8r Standing alternate db curls 5k/8reps 12.5k/8reps 20k/8reps 25k/8r 32.5k/7reps drop to 20k/6reps Not too bad today all things considered. Can't grip properly with my left hand still so I use straps when I do db curls and any kind of pulling movement. Feeling weak on military press today but still got a mad pump.

Back and whatever else I feel like doing with it later today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryB Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ok yesterday I did back and well... just did back... stupid lunchtime workouts! Rack deadlifts from 2 inches below knee height. Resting weight in between reps to take away bounce and momentum, haven't done these for quite some time so it was hard work. Bar/10reps 60k/10 100k/10 140k/8 180k/8 220k/8 240/6 Hammer strength pulldown machine, I will just put the weight on each side so 20k means 20k each side 20k/10 40k/10 60k/10 80k/8 100k/4 + 2 forced 60k/12 Bent barbell rows, been trying to stay bent right over so I can really pull my elbows behind my body 50k/10 90k/10 120k/8 120k/6 + 2 rest pause Double arm db rows 50k/7 50k/5 + 2 rest pause That was it for the day, back very pumped and I was ever so slightly wiped out.

drizzt Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Holy crap those are some big weights, nice work Harry :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks Drizzt, I am getting back to where I used to be, quite a ways to go yet but what I am finding is that keeping the journal is making me work harder just because it sets up some kind of accountability. Even if it is just to myself having to log stuff. I always get my clients to do it so it's about time I did it myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well hello monday! Saturday I did chest and a tiny bit of triceps. Flat bench press bar/15 40k/10 60k/10 80k/10 100k/10 140k/10 160k/5 drop set to 100k/9 100/8 pausing on chest + 3 normal Incline barbell 60k/10 100/10 140/4 drop set to 100/5 Incline flyes 15k/10 30k/8 45/6 2 giant sets of cable crossovers, followed by dips and finished with push ups. Finished up lying on my face thinking I am way too old for trying to train hard! Overhead tricep extensions. 4 sets of 12-15 reps just nice and slow, focussing on full stretch and holding the contraction. Triceps were fried!

HarryB Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sunday was legs, note I don't do much hamstring work, they seem to respon very well when I just do my squats and deadlifts. I am pretty lucky with genetics in the leg dept. Squats bar/10 60/10 100/8 140/6 180/6 (loose wraps) 220/3 (loose wraps) drop set to 140/10 (LAME) Leg presses I will just put weight on each side 60k/12 120/12 160/12 200/10 200/10 3 sets light leg extensions for 12 reps each Calves on the hack squat for 4 sets of about 12 reps each increasing weight each set. Pretty low volume workout really but I was just hammered. Monday morning right now and I am hurting just sitting in my seat. Stupid squats! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdogbob Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Your weights are hoooooge you must be a machine...no wonder you like the carbs :pfft: you need them to shift those numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Lol yeah I do love carbs, but they don't help me get lean so I have cut them back. I still have some every meal but nowhere near as much as before. I don't think I am lifting particularly heavy to be honest. I mean I have been training since I was 15 and I am now 38, I used to be a whole lot stronger in my late 20's and early 30's so I guess it's relative. At the moment I am going ok but I do expect more from myself and I will get there injuries permitting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
